About me

I research AI and large langauge models (LLMs) as a Computer Science PhD student at Cornell. I received my Bachelor’s from Columbia University, where I was fortunate to be advised by Zhou Yu and Smaranda Muresan. For more details, please see my resume.

If you want to collaborate with me on research, please reach out to me via email.
